Thread: Wade and Butcher FBU

Hey everyone, this is my first post so I'll introduce myself. I'm Matt from Kentucky, and I have been straight razor shaving for a few months now and not looking back. I live and work in a great arts community that is also known for its antique stores, and I found this great Wade and Butchers "For Barbers Use" wedge chopper at one of the local shops and purchased it today. It measures 9/8" at the toe and has very light patina with no pitting at all. The scales are mismatched black and blond horn I believe. I assume one of the scales was replaced at one time. I actually like the two tone look, it's a shame the scales will probably need to be replaced. It also came with the original coffin case, which is actually in great condition.

I plan on getting this professionally restored, cleaned and honed soon. In the mean time, here are some pics:
